Well my mom knows that I have been talking about some equipment that I was looking into buying and she decided to take it upon herself to help me acquire it.

The equipment in question was a pair of arm pads and a new pod pack.

My mom knowing nothing about paintball started talking to me the day I came back from the field Sunday before cyber Monday about what good brands were whats so special about them and why I like them. I was surprised she wanted to talk about it but thought nothing of it.

Turns out she did a little shopping for me.

She bought me a pair of PE Overload Arm Pads and the PE Branded NXE Pod pack along with 12 Red Pods.

First off win for my mom for being awesome and not only getting the BEST equipment possible for me but also in the right sizes!!!

Now for the fail, she showed them to me had me try them on then made me give them back to her till Christmas and I just hopped on a D4 Team... TROLLMOM

Anyways hope all of you get what you want for the holidays just thought I would share with you guys. Merry Christmas

I love my mom shes always the one person I know I can go to with anything and as for complaining its more so that she decided to show me she had them and she took a sick pleasure out of teasing me with them...

My mother readily admits she doesn't know anything about what paintball stuff to buy, so when i showed her the list, she just said, "With the paintball stuff, just put all of it in the cart and press checkout, then call me and I'll do the rest"Me in my brain: " (inserts F5 Milled Poison G6R into shopping cart)"My consience: " You have a great gun. No."I would actually never do that. Well maybe just to see if she noticed. hehehehe

Moms are awesome, and at least now you know you're getting them and don't have to buy them yourself.

Great Point!

My mom would have freaked out if she had that bill on her Debit Card. I would have paid for it in blood.

Hahaha me too. Tells you what a terrible person i am lol. That whole scenario seems like it would happen in a child's cartoon to teach kids not to be greedy

When I showed my grandad my paintball xmas list he just drove me to the store and said go order whatever then call me in.

Thats pretty epic, grandfather is walking around like Mr. Monopoly just call me in when its time to spend money.My grandparents are hands off when it comes to Presents.

Every Christmas/Birthday I get a check to put into savings and another smaller check to put into my spend on cool shit account. Im just really surprised my mom took the initiative and actually took the time to do a little research for it to help me because she got some kick ass stuff!

When I was living with my mom, we were always completely broke so I was very surprised when she got me my first paintball gun for Christmas.
It was just a $70 JT Tac-5 starter kit, but at the time, we struggling to just to buy food. It was one of the best gifts I received due to our circumstance and it's probably why I stuck with paintball.
